Here at Hope & Help, we have the Orlando STI testing and the inclusive medical care you’re looking for! Here’s why we’re your healthcare home.
You’re not alone if you’ve ever come to a doctor’s office because you weren’t feeling well or needed care, only to feel unwelcome, judged, or discriminated against. A recent study found that one in four LGBTQ+ people experienced discrimination from their healthcare providers. At the same time, 8% of lesbian, gay, or bisexual adults and 29% of transgender adults reported that a healthcare provider had refused to see them because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
That’s not ok! And you won’t find that here. Whether you come to us for Orlando STI testing or another healthcare need, we’re right here to support you!
